--Transaction Creates a Global Leader in Plant Sterol Esters and Natural 
Vitamin E

Kensing, LLC ("Kensing" or the "Company"), a leading manufacturer of Natural 
Vitamin E, Plant Sterols and high-purity surfactants, and a portfolio company 
of One Rock Capital Partners, LLC ("One Rock"), today announced its acquisition 
of Vitae Naturals ("Vitae"), a leading producer of Plant Sterol Esters and 
Non-GMO Natural Vitamin E derivatives for the food, nutrition and skin care 
end-markets.

"We are pleased to bring Vitae Naturals into the Kensing family," said Serge 
Rogasik, Chief Executive Officer of Kensing. "This acquisition is highly 
complementary, strengthens our footprint in Europe and enables further 
expansion in food ingredients. This is an exciting time for both companies and 
we look forward to partnering with the Vitae team to accelerate our growth 
objectives."

Founded in 2000 in Talavera de la Reina, Spain, Vitae Naturals manufactures 
Plant Sterol Esters under the Vitasterol(R) brand and Natural Vitamin E 
derivatives under the Vitapherole(R) brand. Plant Sterol Esters have been 
clinically proven to naturally lower cholesterol and help fight heart disease 
when added to margarine spreads, yogurts, and supplements. Natural Vitamin E 
derivatives are primarily used in vitamin supplements and as natural 
antioxidants in food and cosmetic applications. Vitae Naturals serves a large 
set of global customers in more than 40 countries across five continents.

"Our businesses share similar values and we are delighted to become a part of 
the Kensing team," said Rafael Cano Mariblanca, General Manager of Vitae
